Comments about Product:

I purchased the Built Large Insulated Lunch Bag for my (adult) daughter to take her lunch to school. The bag is roomy enough for a drink, sandwich, bag of chips, and baggie of fruit/veggies. There is still room to spare. The bag is soft, collapsible, and attractive.

Comments about Product:

I love these bags, have about 4 of them, kids bring to school and I can wash them with laundry, couldn't be easier! One request Built, can you give the boys a bit more variety, my son is tired of black, don't blame him, thanks!

This lunch bag is absolutely perfect: not only does it fit everything I need- it is not big and bulky. It always keeps my lunch cold, looks stylish, and it's easily washable. I definitely recommend it 100%!

Comments about Product:

What a great lunch tote. I purchased this because I was hoping it was going to be large enough to fit my soup containers and sandwich and a drink. Not only does it fit all those things but it also flattens out to mere inches at the end of the day, taking up little to no room in my handbag.

Comments about Product:

My daughter was so excited to use this bag and had to show it to all of her classmates at school. It fits her lunch (they are a no waste school so I have to mostly use plastic containers) and is lightweight and easy to store when not being used. I'll be definitely keeping my eyes open for another one, especially a bigger one that I could potentially use for carrying snacks for the baby and for my preschooler on road trips.

Comments about Product:

Love this lunch bag. Here's why: the design (I bought the black/white design with pink on the inside; the size (I often bring breakfast and lunch with me in the morning and it is plenty big); it's washable!!; and it folds up neatly for storage without taking up a ton of space in my cupboard.

Comments about Product:

I own several of these and echo what others have said about all the great features -- love the colorful designs, you can fit a lot in them, they roll up easily to store, you can wash and drip dry, etc. However, I have issues with black stains (that look like mold or mildew) in the bottoms of the bags. I believe this is an issue related to my daughters leaving the ice packs inside the bags, inside their backpacks and forgetting to take them out sometimes. I have washed them, soaked them in color safe bleach, spot-treated them, etc. These stains do not go away. It looks disgusting.The bags are clean but stained. Any ideas on how to get rid of the stains? Given their overall usefulness and the cost of replacing, I am reluctant to just get rid of them altogether.

Comments about Product:

Easy to use, lots of room for your average lunch, stretches to accomodate different sized containers. Room enough to put a sandwich, a water bottle, and various other sides, with no problem. Washes like a dream, doesn't fade. Just hang it to dry and it's good to go. I'm sort of a clean freak with food, so it's washed constantly.

I never found it to be a problem to keep things cold if you have a frozen cold pack inside that is big enough to do the job. You could even freeze a water bottle, set your sandwich on top and it should be fine.

I have them for both of my kids and they survived a school year and still look new. Bonus points for it's ability to collapse and fit flat inside an overstuffed backpack when lunch is over.

My only gripe is that they come in only girly colors. My son said just this morning 'please don't make me carry THAT one' when he looked at the polka dots (he lost his green one that isn't produced anymore). So I'm back here to buy his only option: black. Can we have some plain colors or cammo? No 11 year old boy is going to carry anything of the other ones, and neither is my husband.

Comments about Product:

I love these lunch bags. My boys are very hard on their lunch boxes, and so I love it that these can go through the washing machine. They have had the same ones for the last two school years, and I am only just now thinking I might need to replace them. The ONLY complaint I have is.... I wish they would make some other colors and designs that are boy-friendly!! Boys like to have cool lunch bags, too....

Comments about Product:

This is my second Built lunch bag and I love it just as much as the first one (the first one got left on a plane). The greatest feature of this lunch bag is that I can throw it in the wash. Washing the first one about every other week for a year did not make the colors fade or weaken the fabric in any way. The second greatest feature is that it stretches to accommodate different sized lunch containers.

Comments about Product:

This lunch bag is excellent. Like many other reviewers have said it can hold a mighty amount of stuff. Today I carried a can of soup, a large bowl and an apple and still had room left over. It looks great and never is mistaken for anyone else's bag in the shared office fridge! Great product.

Comments about Product:

I love the Built Insulated Lunch Bag!! It's so stylish yet so practical. It fits all of my lunch and snacks for a long day at work and looks lovely when I'm carrying it!! Everyone asks where I got it from. At the end of the week I just throw it in the washing machine ready for the next week. I love it!! Thankyou for a wonderful product.

Like Dr. Who's TARDIS, this little wonder is bigger than it looks at first sight. I have used it practically every day since I got it, bringing t to the office with 1) a container of soup, 2) my glasses, 3) a fairly thick paperback book, 4) pocket package of Kleenex and 5) my security badge tucked inside. And there is room for more. Even better, the flexible handle allows me to slip it over my wrist, so I can carry my briefcase, handbag or a grocery bag at the same time. Excellent product, plus it is easy to launder.

Comments about Product:

I bought this for my 6 year old daughter to take to school. I like the washability of this bag and the large capacity. I also love the color- a super deep raspberry- beautiful. My daughter likes it because it is easy to open and because it is soft. It is well made.

Comments about Product:

I got this bag to replace a small cooler type bag I had. This bad is more flexible, is stylish, and holds A LOT of food. The only issue is that it doesn't stay as cool as I would like, even with ice packs and sitting in the fridge all night. It's great for work, but I wouldn't travel with it in the car for long periods of time.

Comments about Product:

This lunchbox keeps things well-insulated, looks chic and sleek, has a nifty handle that also fits over your wrist if you need to use your fingers for other duties, and it holds a lot of food. A lot of food! I can fit four medium-size Tupperwares in there no problem, and because the material has give, it still zips up no matter the shape of the containers. It is basically amazing. It also folds flat when not holding a remarkable amount of food. Seriously, buy this lunch box!

Comments about Product:

I have 5 bags of various designs. I liked them so much and had to buy them as gifts... Then I regretted... They aren't as roomy as I thought. I couldn't fit my long stainless steel water bottle in without have a tug of war with the rest of containers. My son refused using them as they looked GIRLY. The bags stain easily and won't come off with a good scrubbing either. They do keep food fresh provided there is an ice pack or fronze drink inside. The bags are super light and can be folded and packed easily when empty. They are not bad but need some improvement, esp on size and shapes so they can store longer items and men/boys will want to use them too.

Comments about Product:

I love my Builty Gourmet tote. I replaced a bulky, boxy bag with this and I'm so happy. This squishes down into my work tote and is very sleek and stylish. I wish it did a little better keeping things cold (I use a cold pack) for longer, but for 4-6 hours you're solid. Very, very happy with this purchase. I encourage all considering this product to buy it!

Comments about Product:

I use this lunch tote for my 4.5 year-old daughter's lunch at pre-school. It is the BEST lunch tote I have ever purchased and would highly recommend this to any mom. Not only is it insulated and well made, but it also easily STRETCHES when you need to fit an odd-shaped container in it. It wipes/cleans easily and my daughter loves the handle at the top for easy carrying. She is so proud of her lunchbox that she will not allow me to carry it. I am also very glad that I purchased this in the large size for her, as it is perfect. I initially thought it would be too big but it really is not bulky for her, is easy to carry (doesn't touch the ground when she carries it) and holds a typical container or two, utensils and thermos. You also can't beat the price!

Comments about Product:

I purchased this item because of all the wonderful reviews. The bag clains to be insulated and the reviewers said it kept their lunch cold. Well I don't know where they work, but I work in an air conditioned office and it couldn't even keep my lunch cold for 4 hours. It keeps it cold for about 2 hours. This is a good paper bag replacement, but not good for keeping your lunch cold. My only bummer is that I tossed the recipit and tags and can't return it. This is not a bag for keeping your lunch cold.

The reason for the low rating is because the company claims that it is insulated and it is not. But it is cute so 1 star for that.

Comments about Product:

We love the gourmet lunch bag. It fits well into my child's backpack and it collapses at the end of the day to save space. I also love the fact that I can put it in the washer. I don't think I will now need to buy a new lunch bag every year for my kids!

Comments about Product:

I bought this bag based on the other reviews on the site, but I am really disappointed with it. The bag is cute and stretchy which is nice, but insulated it is not! Sure this is great if you plan to stick your lunch in the fridge at work, but as far as keeping things cold it doesn’t work that great. I bought one and wish I had saved my receipt to return it. I even put a freezer pack in and my lunch is not cold in the 4.5 hours it sits until I eat it. Back to the drawing board to buy a regular old insulated bag. This will be good for chips and such or maybe sodas in the summer, but that is about it. It is too bad because I really liked the color and the shape.

Comments about Product:

I have two of these lunchbags and have brought one for a friend and intend to get a couple more.They make great gifts for someone that may be difficult to buy for.I have had lots of comments and it certainly stands out in the staffroom at work.I say much nicer than a plastic bag

Comments about Product:

This is the third lunch bag I have purchased from Reuseit. I have been extremely happy with them. I bought them for my daughters for their school lunches. The biggest attraction to this lunch bag is that is it "washable." VERY important! I don't feel compelled to buy a new one each year. Also love the patterns and how spacious they are. Great buy and great investment.

Comments about Product:

Comments about Product:

We love this bag. The pattern is great and the size is just right. It is big enough to hold a variety of different sized containers without me having to feel like I am completing a jigsaw puzzle each morning as I pack my daughters lunch; and it is still small enough to fit in her backpack for easy transport to and from school.

Comments about Product:

I bought this for my 8 month old's food for daycare and bottles after an opened container of baby food spilled all over her larger bag and paper work. I have another neoprene style bag for an older child, and this one is very roomy so that I can fit 3 small food containers and 5 smaller bottles with no problems (much roomier than the Dabba Walla one I have for my son). These wash up easily on gentle cycle with Woolite. I love that you can wash them because they do get dirty with spills and such. They do keep food cold. These are stinky when you initially open them, but then the smell disappears after washing/use.

Comments about Product:

Fun design, solid zipper, well-constructed and appears durable. Size L is perfect, holds a good sized lunch + snacks. Insulates ok, better w/cold pack, but to some degree without. Very happy & hope to get several years use out of this!

Comments about Product:

This bag is enormous. Much bigger than it looks when you first pull it out of the box. My husband really likes the fact that it is flexible and holds everything for his breakfast, lunch, and snack at work.

Comments about Product:

This insulated lunch bag is GREAT! I can put containers with leftovers, H20 bottle, snack bags and a reusable ice pack and still have a bit of room for extra cookies! My lunch stays cold for 6-8 hours! I have not had the need to wash it, but a co-worker has a Built lunch bag and says that they wash up nicely. I also like how it folds flat for easier storage.

Comments about Product:

Bought one for my daughter for school lunches and were so thrilled with it that we bought one for her friend for a birthday gift. Her friend immediately put her lunch in her new built bag and tossed the old brown bag.

Comments about Product:

My husband and I have recently downsized to one vehicle, meaning that I usually take the bus and occasionally ride my bike to the office. The large Built Gourmet Getaway is fantastic because it fits everything I need it to and it's pliable and forgiving to fit into my messenger bag or my pannier after work. Also, I love love love the polka dots!

Comments about Product:

I actually bought this for my mom who has numerous food allergies/dietary concerns. We never have certain specialty foods around the house that she can eat when she comes to visit, so she brings her own yogurt/bread/cheese etc with her. This is perfect for her to carry while driving, bowling, golfing etc. and matches her car/bowling ball bag/golf bag! Seems to be very sturdy.

Comments about Product:

I have 3 of these and love them! My daughter uses them for lunch at school. She has had them for 10 years. I wash them when they are dirty and they are ready to go again. Forget those cheap lunch bags with the velcro that frays. All of my zippers on these are in perfect shape.

Comments about Product:

I bought two of these (neon green and black)around the holidays with the intention of using one for a "Yankee Swap" and the second to replace my 5-year old's lunch bag that has a torn lining and is generally pretty raggedy since starting school in September. I kept the Yankee Swap one and have used it practically every day. It is roomy enough for the Glad Ware that I use for salads, leftovers, etc. The flat bottom ensures it will stand up in the fridge. The material can stand up to the gentle wash. And it's cute! (Guys don't let that be a detterent!) It is a little large for the amount of food my daughter brings to school, but she loves the bright color and I like the quality and ability to clean it. My co-worked loved it and is planning on purchasing one.

Comments about Product:

Works perfect for lunch, can fit in all the essentials and it stretches just enough if you are feeling extra hungry. Easy to store when not in use. Great construction, feels stitching feels strong and sturdy, made out of a great material. I would recommend it, 100%.

Comments about Product:

I bought this bag to hold my daughter's Laptop Lunch bento set. I am so impressed! It not only fits the laptop lunch but it could easily fit a small 10oz 300ml water bottle, too. Plus it's soft and the organic shape of it makes it easier to pack into her backpack. Really impressed. :)

Comments about Product:

This lunch tote is great! I purchased the large size because I always carry my insulated coffe mug, water bottle, lunch and a snack to work. I wasn't sure if this bag would meet the challenge but "no worries"! This is a winner! Not to mention adorable and it cleans up nicely too.

Comments about Product:

I originally picked this lunch bag because my daughter wanted a green lunch bag. But I am very happy with it, it holds a great deal of food and a sigg bottle. It's light weight, easy to store and comfortable to carry. It doesn't smell like it needs to out gas for several months. I also received it very quickly from Reuseit. I would totally recommend this product.

Comments about Product:

Bought it for my daughter for school. Needed something I can wash regularly that holds alot. She packs it with her lunch and her afterschool snack since she sometimes stays for afterschool activities. It has been great! My daughter also loves the stylish design.

Comments about Product:

This is the second purchase I've made of these lunch bags and they are THE BEST!!! And make sure you buy the Large Size. I used to buy the regular insulated lunch bags but wiping them out was never enough and throwing them in the wash would just destroy them. So when I found these neoprene/wet suit lunch boxes on Reusable Bags.com, I gave them a try, even though they were a little pricier than the other ones. Well, they ended up saving me alot of money in the long run because they lasted two school years for our 3 kids. And, I could probably get them to go one more year! I had to sew up a few holes from time to time, but that's ok. I love the new garden pattern. The patterned ones (dots, etc.) seem to wear a little better than the solid colored ones. This is a great product!!!

So when I found these neoprene/wet suit lunch boxes on Reusable Bags.com, I gave them a try, even though they were a little pricier than the other ones. Well, they ended up saving me alot of money in the long run because they lasted two full school years for our three kids. I had to sew up a few holes that would form from time to time, but that's ok. I could probably even get them to go one more year, and I might try it, too, before I get out the new ones for the kids! I love the new garden pattern. The patterned ones (dots, etc.) seem to wear a little better than the solid colored ones. This is a great product!!!

Comments about Product:

The bag is so pretty and functional at the same time! I even use it as my purse sometimes. The bag is big enough to hold containers of food for lunch - a "normal" lunchbox isn't as versatile as this one!

Comments about Product:

This bag is great - large enough for multiple containers and still have room for fruit and baggies. Every once in a blue moon, it's not quite big enough for absolutely everything, but way better than either of my previous two bags. The material also stretches nicely to fit odd sized containers.

Comments about Product:

This bag doesn't keep things cold for very long (and I use a large ice pack with it). It does smell rubber-y but I've only had it for a few days and I imagine the smell will lessen. I have a water bottle sling by the same company and it doesn't smell at all after a while. It is ADORABLE though so I will try to find other uses for it.

Comments about Product:

I purchased the Built Gourmet Getaway while I was home recovering from surgery. I was hoping it would arrive before my first day back to work but it came the next day. The bag is the right size to hold my lunch items and expands to hold any other extras I might be taking with me that day. When I empty the bag, she compresses to fit into my backpack for easy transportation both to work when she is filled and at the end of the day to come home. Would I purchase this item again, in a NY minute.....Usually bags are either too big, too small or just won't accomodate what I need to carry and this one does.

Comments about Product:

I was getting such use out of the Built Gourmet Getaway (Large) that I decided to purchase a second one. They are very both well made, so even after wear and tear of one year and a lot of washing, they are as good as new. The 2nd bag was just what I was looking for in dimension: It was slightly longer with larger handles than that of Gourmet Getaway. The vibrant color is alos lovely. I have received compliments on both of them and I will definitely purchase them again if need be.

Comments about Product:

I very much enjoy using my insulated lunch tote. It is lovely, and durable. Keeps my food quite cool all during the day. My absolutely only suggestion is to make it larger---or market a larger beautiful lunch bag. Because I am hypoglycemic, I like to carry two small snacks along side my lunch. sometimes this gets crowded. Thanks for a great product. Doc Sallee

Comments about Product:

This tote just makes me happy. :) The pattern (I got the polka dots) is fun and it holds everything I'd want it to: salad, fruit, dressing, drink, etc. The other night, I needed to take juice for my son's t-ball team and all 6 packs fit inside this tote.

Comments about Product:

I take public transportation and tire of carrying more than just my purse. The Large Insulated Lunch/Tote Bag affords me the opportunity to carry my lunch and then I can fold it and put in my purse for the trip home PLUS it's washable. It just doesn't get much better.

Comments about Product:

I had been looking for a lunch bag to be able to bring my lunch to work. I found these online and ordered it. I have been extremely pleased with the bag. It is light weight and easy to clean. It fits a lot of things inside... I can get my sandwich, a yogurt, bag of chips and a small water bottle and there is still room for more! I absolutely love the look and versatility! Great buy and reasonable price!

Comments about Product:

This bag stores so compact and flat, but opens up to hold a large amount of food. We first used our tote for an all day long trip to the zoo where it held more than enough food for 2 people. It has a very sturdy zipper closure and kept everything nice and chilled the entire day. I highly recommend. Also has a sleek design and is different from every other bag on the market.

Comments about Product:

I love the fact that this bag folds up after use for easy transport (empty) back home. Add that to the fact that the shape allows for more wide containers at the bottom and you have a perfect bag. The material is easy to clean and even with the lighter background, I don't find it getting dirty or grimy with weekday use. People also love the look of the bag and I have gotten many comments on it. The price might seem high, but it is really strong construction - the zipper is not going to tear from the seams and the stitching elsewhere is solid! Also love that I can throw it in the wash machine on cold and not have to hand wash!

Comments about Product:

Just what I envisioned and hoped for - a simple handy bag into which I can cram my multiple meals for the day... and look good carrying.... AND not allow spills in my work bag! I am absolutely delighted. The size is reasonable (i.e. doesn't look or feel too big/small), yet it accommodates all that I need. Some days I have to bring all my meals (B, L, D & snacks) with me and this fits them all. Sometimes I squeeze my 1L Sigg in with my lunch, just to cut down on loose items. This bag keeps everything snug and together and keeps the drips and leaks away from my books and papers. It's well-'built' and sturdy and I doubt I could be happier.

Comments about Product:

The Gourmet Getaway Large Insulated Lunch Tote has stylish appearance, is constructed well, but could be a little larger to really be "large". I got it for my daughter to take to work. She likes the black & white print on the outside and hot pink interior.

Comments about Product:

I purchased this lunch bag for my 10 year old daughter, but I would use it too. It is very cute, light weight, yet very sturdy. I have no doubt that even though we have only had the tote for about 2 months, it will last and last. The size is perfect. You can put just 1 or 2 things in and have a nice thin lunch bag, or stuff it full. It expands (stretchs) really nicely. My daughter usually takes a 12oz stainlss steel water bottle a sandwich, a stainless steel bowl(holds about 1 cup of food) with fruit or yogurt in it (sometimes 2 bowls)a napkin,spoon and an ice pack that is about 6 inches by 3 inches. The bag still has room to hold more, and the zipper never seems compromised. the bag does have a "purse" look to it (shape of it) so I wouldn't recomend it for boys.

Comments about Product:

I got Built's Gourmet Getaway Insulated Tote Bag to use in conjunction with ToGo Ware's 2-Tier SS Food Carrier to carry small meals, to-go orders and restaurant leftovers around with more style, safety and security. Excellent choice! I really like this tote's sophisticated yet very practical design (love the handles), stretchy Neoprene fabric and insulation, and sturdy construction. The food carrier fits inside snuggly -- its flat bottom keeps the tote from falling over on flat surfaces -- and the industrial-strength zipper keeps everything inside protected (think food safety) and away from the elements. The tote/food carrier combo has those awful styrofoam containers beat on so many levels that I can't cite them all! Suffice it to say that I highly recommend it.

Comments about Product:

I love love love this lunch bag! It can hold a lot without being large and bulky, and is very sturdy. I generally only take my lunch in, but if running late I would have plenty of room for breakfast as well. Because I usually transfer my lunch to the refrigerator when I get to work, I cannot attest to how well insulated it is, however I have friends with similar lunch bags who carry them around all day and enjoy a cool lunch. The design and contrast of the black/white outside with pink inside is lots of fun.

Comments about Product:

I received my first order very quickly! Very impressed with the fast delivery! I used this Lunch bag/tote the first day that I got it in the mail! Its very roomy, and I plan to use it all the time, ( for work days..and just for running errands, to put those healthy snacks in..) No more drive-thrus for me! :) I also ordered the Snack Mat/Wrap for my Son's Hot Pockets that he takes to school, love it! Thanks again!

Comments about Product:

These are the best lunchbags EVER. I have had one for over a year, and it still looks brand-new. Just purchased one for my boyfriend, and he really likes it, too. These bags are so sturdy, wash up beautifully, stretch around large containers, (sometimes I have to pack two meals, and these bags have enough room!), and have a little cushion just in case the bag is dropped, too. This may be the last lunchbag I ever own! It was hard to tell on the website what color the lining was for the black bag -- it is a nice, neutral khaki. Perfect for guys!

Comments about Product:

I bought this lunch tote as a Christmas gift for my husband. We have been packing our lunches for work for years and I use a cloth lunch tote. My husband is not the type of guy to carry a "cute" lunchbox. He was using plastic shopping bags and then throwing them away when he was done eating. I decided it was time to invite him over the plastic-free side of lunch. We were both impressed with how much stuff can be packed into the Built tote; I was able to fit a salad plate inside so he could heat up his lunch. It rolls up easily to slip into our cabinets at the end of the day. My husband says he loves his new gear and I love the fact there are less plastic bags in the landfill.

Comments about Product:

This bag is the best lunch bag I have ever had. It holds a lot more than you would expect it to. Perfect size for taking my lunches to work. I get complimented on it all the time and people ask where they can get one. Love that hot pink inside and the design on the outside. Love that it stretches and is easy to clean.

I love carrying this to work everyday! You can't really tell from the photo here, but the Vine-style bag has hot pink on the inside, which is super cute. The bag can hold a lot - I think I've taken two lunchbot containers, a yogurt, banana and a soda can and had plenty of room. It's also very well made. I was debating between getting a medium bag or a large lunch bag and am glad I went with the larger size.

Comments about Product:

We love this bag! It's large enough to fit my toddler's breakfast, lunch and snack for daycare and she LOVES carrying it because of how many compliments she receives for its big, bright polka dots. It also cleans very easily, which is important for us since it usually comes home with spilled milk or crushed fruit at the bottom of the bag. My 2 year-old and I both agree that this is the perfect lunch bag!

Comments about Product:

I just love this bag and have been using it since the day it arrived. It's stretchy, washable, and easily stored when not in use. The different colored dots make it a "fun" lunch bag and everyone at work asks me about it. And of course, my new lunch bag would not be complete without those wonderful Wrap-N-Mats that get used nearly every day. Thank you such a wonderful line of products on your site!

Comments about Product:

One of my daughters chose this to replace her previous bag (a Mimi-the-Sardine which lasted years!). We are both happy with this bag, which accommodates much more than the Mimi bag. It's easy to carry & folds flat when not in use.

Comments about Product:

This is a great bag! It holds plenty of things, at least 2-3 small size food containers for your lunch, is expandable and seems sturdy (I haven't used it for a long time yet). I have bought one for myself and one for my husband and we are both very happy with this purchase.

Comments about Product:

Great space, enough for my snack yogurt, lunch sandwich, fruit and veggie to go with them as well as my freezer pack to keep things cool. Cleans easily and protects contents' temperature and safety well. The only very mild drawback is that it doesn't sit flat well. It stays where I put it, though. I'd buy it again.

I read somewhere that this bag actually looks grey rather than black, but it is indeed black (I would have been fine either way). The smell some people talk about dissipates. My only beef is that the bag isn't as large as I'd like -- one 2C rubbermaid container, and you're out of luck.

LOVE this lunch tote! Bought it for my eight year-old and it's PLENTY roomy. I throw it in the washing machine every Friday when the school week is done and it comes out still looking brand new (dries quickly too!). It doesn't get the yucky stains and dark marks all over the bottom and outside like typical kids' lunchboxes. Everything about it is top-quality -- well worth the money!

Comments about Product:

This is a great product, it does not hold enough containers for breakfast and lunch - which is what I usually bring to work. My only other complaint is that it does not keep items cool for very long outside of the refrigerator and without an ice pack. (I have an hour and a half commute) It is very strong! I lugged three beer bottles in the bag without it breaking or tearing the material.

Comments about Product:

Before I ordered this lunch tote, I checked the reviews. Most said bag seems to expand and it REALLY does!! Fantastic little bag. I can fit a LARGE bottle of water, sandwich, fruit, snack and sometimes when I am in a rush, I can throw my breakfast (usually an English Muffin) in my bag and ZIP it closed! I keep it in a refrigerator until I eat my lunch because the the insulation is good but not great - but I would highly recommend this lunch bag! Another plus is it is really cute LOVE the polka dots!!

I have used it a couple of times so far and enjoy the weight and size of it. It actually holds quite a bit and the stuff stays cold (I keep it in the refrigerator). I love the color and it folds up nice.

Comments about Product:

I am very happy with the insulated lunch bag. I carry my breakfast and lunch to work, plus a few pieces of fruit and there is plenty of room. It is light weight and not at all bulky. I had been carrying a 6-pack size bag and had trouble fitting everything. It is rare for me to purchase something new when I have something I can make do with, but I am glad I did in this case.

Comments about Product:

This is by far the best lunch bag I have ever purchased. I am like a Built NY evangelist now. I bought it last year for my elementary school daughter who takes her lunch everyday. I do insert a blue ice pack because she often has milk or yogurt. It keeps everything in the bag cooled until her lunch and after. I wrap the blue ice in a washcloth to contain any moisture, this came in handy when she forgot to close her canteen and milk leaked inside. Amazingly the bag was only damp and did not leak- the cloth did help. The absolute best feature of the bag is the fact that you can throw it in the washing machine. I was tired of wasting money on the traditional lunch bags- they get absolutely filthy inside and out. I also think these Built bags are indestructible, it has lasted through 2nd grade, summer use and now the beginning of 3rd- it has been burned on a stove, dragged along concrete and run over by a car (well, not that last one, but I'm sure it would survive even that!) I also bought a Klean Kanteen with a Built NY cover, it is the second greatest purchase made for lunch purposes! I highly recommend both products. I have save so much money on multiple lunch bag and milk/juice box purchases! You need to buy one now!

The reusable neoprene lunch bags are fine but, my husband and 15 year old son don't appreciate them very much because of the style. Both said they looked like a purse but have chosen to use them anyway. Today, my son was told by a friend that his lunch bag looks like a purse. Given the price of them, I'm not really intersted in stuffing them in a closet and getting something that looks more rugged/masculine. My daughter and I are very happy. Can we still return these in favor of something styled for use by men?

Comments about Product:

I love my new lunch bags! I am able to fit all the portable containers, as well as cooler packs and still have room to spare. The folks in my office have been commenting on them so I've referred them to your site. Thanks again

Comments about Product:

I love my Built lunch bag. It is big enough to hold my lunch without being too large. I also love that it is squishy, so I am able to bring my leftovers in glass storage containers (with all of the concern over plastics these days, I'm feeling less comfortable about storing food in plastic) without worrying about them breaking from an accidental donk. (And, the bonus of bringing leftovers in a glass dish is being able to microwave them right in the dish, without having to dirty another plate! I never microwave in plastic...). To top it off, I have gotten so many envious comments at the fun style and design of the bag. Thanks!

Comments about Product:

Switched out to this bag for my 4 yr olds lunch and snacks; much easier to keep clean compared to the insulated type. Easier to store when not in use (folds flat). Have used only a month, but can't see going back to the less washable.

Comments about Product:

I got this lunch bag because it is insulated and rather large. I frequently pack leftovers in glass containers to take to work. This bag has been great in handling everything I've wanted to pack and it is pretty tough because it does just fine with the weight. The bag is also attractive and easy to clean. I'm glad I purchased it.

Comments about Product:

I purchased the Built Gourmet Getaway for my 5th graders lunch. So far it has worked great. It is unigue is color and design enabling her to find her lunch in the class "lunch tote" easily. The materail insultes her lunch well, and is super easy to clean up. We have got a lot of positive comments from her classmates and well as had parents ask where they can get one. A little more expensive than traditional lunch boxes/totes but well worth the money. A great way to start your waste free school lunch.

Comments about Product:

The lunch bag is very cute and excellent quality. It's also a great size, I can fit my salad, an apple, a yogurt and there's still room for more. Because it folds up flat, it only takes a tiny space when stored.

Comments about Product:

I absolutely LOVE this lunch bag! The design is beautiful and it does NOT look like the typical boring lunch bag. I work 8-12 hours a day and this holds enough meals for breakfast through dinner including snacks.

Comments about Product:

I have the French Bull style which is the more attractive of the styles offered (in my personal opinion). I don't care for dots or stripes. I have everything good to say about this bag. I can fit my sandwich container and a snack container, my cloth napkin, and my water bottle. It is a tight fit with the water bottle, but the bag seems to expand to contain it all. I even used it as a river-trip bag when I had to take my lunch to a trip to the river...didn't want it to become overly sopping (my lunch) and tossed all sorts of things in there that I don't normally put in there, my keys, sunscreen, etc. It bulged, but it bounced back just fine after the trip was over and all was well. I got it because it was reusable and I just love the neoprene idea.

Comments about Product:

I purchased two of the large Built lunch bags for my kids (4 & 7). The plastic lining of the regular kid lunch bags they have out shredded before teh school year was out (A thermos brand did better, but still the lining was tearing). THis made cleaning them harder since water would get in between the lining and the "insulation". I felt I'd wasted about $30 on these lunch bags that wouldn't make it through another school year. This is why I checked out the Built bags. While more expensive than the cheap-o bags you can get for kids at Target, I think these will last much longer. THey also stretch to allow for odd shaped containers. I put one ice pack at the bottom of the bag in the morning (8am) & the pack, while not rock hard, is still cold (6pm). Impressive. I went with solid colors because they were less expensive. The zipper seems very sturdy as does the stitching. I'm hoping these bags will last much longer & I won't be putting them in a landfill in a year! I recommend them! My only complaint is the color matching of the Red version-- it's green inside. Blech! Couldn't htey have picked another color? To me Red & Green = Christmas & so not what I'd want in a lunchbag. Outside of the bad color pairing, LOVE these bags! :)

Comments about Product:

I love it. I eat my lunch at work each day and can get my lunch and and snacks in it with no trouble at all no matter what size the container is. This keeps me from buying out of the vending machines. It is very light weight and fashionable too.

Comments about Product:

I love this bag. It's fun colored and trendy, and best of all, doesn't show when my reusable coffee mug leaks on it when I throw the nearly empty mug into the bag at the end of the day and forget to close the seal. Plus it's machine washable, which is another advantage against those coffee spots. It's very big, and easily holds my reusable lunch containers. It's also stretchy, so it will still zip around a large rectangular container.

Comments about Product:

I am a huge fan of this bag. Originally when I took it out of the box, it looked smaller than I thought it would be, but it holds my lunch, breakfast, snacks, and sometimes even my cold drinks. I only wish that it was a little more insulated so that I didn't have to put it in the fridge when I get to work. I'd recommend an ice pack if you take it on road trips.

Comments about Product:

Comments about Product:

While I love the size and stretchability of this lunch tote, I'm not thrilled with it. It doesn't keep things as cold as I'd like, even with 2 big frozen chill things crammed in there. It holds large reusable bottles well but it's not waterproof when those bottles leak (totally user error-I didn't have the lids on straight). The entire bag will get soaked when that happens. But you can fit a lot in there!

Comments about Product:

Very bright colors and the bag won't get lost the dark! Does a much better job than other bags I have had at keeping things cold for a longer period of time. This is my second bag and I've given them for gifts and have had great feedback.

Comments about Product:

I asbolutely love this bag and it does everything it says! I can now bring my lunch to work and not fight for space in the fridge (or worry about what I am putting my lunch next too) because it keeps everything coold and fresh until lunch. I bought the large and it really is. The bottom lays flat and I can get my tupperware, fruit, snacks, water bottles, and more in there. I am very happy with this buy.

Comments about Product:

I absolutely love this tote; I bought 2, one for my husband and one for my daughter. I had a hard time finding a lunch box that could fit a reusable drink container and reusable food containers. This is large enough to hold 1 (small) Kleen Kanteen, 1 sandwich container, 2 snack containers, plus the ice pack. I love it's flexible design; and that I can toss it in the washer. The colors stay bright. The one I bought for my husband is black. It maintains his professionalism while being stylish - I wont mention what he was using before.

Comments about Product:

Nice and wide at the bottom, easy to carry. I wish it were even slightly bigger but it does hold a lot. We've already had occasion to wash it and there was no problem. Pretty to look at and lots of compliments from work mates.

I purchased a Built lunchbox. It is fabulous. I generally like all Built products. I particularly like this lunch box because it is roomy. I got it for my daughter. It can easily hold her lunch, snack, drink, etc.

What a great bag! I use it to carry my lunch to school everyday, my bento box, snack box, and drink, a liter SIGG. I pack a ice pack in there too and it keep my drink nice and cold. Fortunately I have access to a microwave if I need it.

Comments about Product:

This bag is so much better than the cloth lunch bag I had. My lunches pack in perfectly and the fabric stretchs to fit. I don't have any issues with containers tipping over and leaking now. It washes up easily and it's good looking.

Comments about Product:

We gave these lunch bags to our 3 twenty-something children, and they were very happy. Obviously they were glad to have the green alternative to other lunch bags, but they also were happy with the large size of these, the zipper top, and the insulation.

Comments about Product:

I love the product!. I bought one for myself and one as a gift. Its very durable, easy to clean and a unique looking lunch bag. My only complaint is that I wish it were a little larger. I guess I was expecting it to be larger since it was described as a gourmet bag.

Comments about Product:

Totally cute lunch bags that don't look like lunch! Bought as gifts along with the stainless steel tiffin carriers and Kleen Kanteens for friends who are trying to save $ by bringing their lunch to work. Built NY makes the best products-good-looking, easy to wash, and stretchy so you can really fit alot into this lunch bag. Plus, how can you not smile at the cute polka dot print?!

Comments about Product:

This bag is really cute and heavy duty. Unfortunately I still can't get past the smell. I have washed it several times and the neoprene smell is just as strong. I'm sure I can find another use for it besides food.

Comments about Product:

This bag holds a lot! It's a little stretchy, too, so that helps it hold even more if necessary. I can fit several plastic containers inside for my leftovers, and still have room for my water bottle and an apple. Yay! I get compliments on it, too, since it's so cute.

Comments about Product:

I wasn't sure whether this bag was going to be big enough, but I liked the look of it enough & my current lunch bag was in batd shape. It was time to replace. I typically pack my lunch in 2-3 tupperware containers + 2 small ice blocks to keep my food cold at my desk. This bag easily holds 2 sandwich-sized plastic containers as well as a yogurt sized cup with room to spare. It's light weight, looks cool & keeps my lunch cool. What more could I ask for?

Comments about Product:

This tote is great, and is *almost* large enough for my husbands huge lunch every day. An extra large size a couple of inches bigger on all sides would be great for him, but for the ordinary lunch packer, this size works great!

Comments about Product:

This bag is deceiving! It's amazing how much it holds. I can stack two Tupperware containers in there, with a bottle and a few apples on the side, with even spare space for a wee bag of potato chips on top. And it's washable!! No more annoying wiping of the interior until it basically falls apart. Durable, washable material that looks chic and keeps on kickin'. Love it.

Comments about Product:

This lunch bag is awesome! It fits way more stuff than meets the eye. It's super cute, too - I can't say how many compliments I've gotten just this week. Everyone thinks it's a purse! It keeps everything nice & cold, & it looks like it's going to stand the test of time - I'm pretty rough with things like this & it takes a beating pretty nicely! :)

Comments about Product:

I had this bag for approximately 2 years. It's sturdy, extraordinarily and ridiculously roomy (& the only bag that could hold the 2Ware stainless steel tiffin -- and then some). I gave mine away in the end because I just found it would feel too heavy for some reason. I would try this product again, in a slightly smaller size, partly because of the weight reason, and also because, unless the bag's stuffed, if you don't have a whole lot of items in it, they can move around. Other than that, a good product and great idea.

Comments about Product:

Awesome bag, big enough to hold everything I need for a 12 hour shift at work. Keeps things cool for about 5 - 6 hours, but I usually just put the whole bag in the refrigerator. Very stylish and a great alternative to using the plastic grocery bags I used to carry my meals in.

Comments about Product:

As someone who strives to re-use, reduce, recycle in every way possible, I was delighted to discover this fashionable, totally functional lunch bag. It appears to be indestructible, as I abuse it daily by stuffing into it more than it should be able to hold: lunch, fruit, water bottle, coffee thermos... And it's washable! Also very chic. I recommend it enthusiastically!

Comments about Product:

I absolutely LOVE this bag! The bag is flexible and expands which allows you to store a LOT of food, and when you're done, it folds flat to store in my backpack. I'm a college student and at school about 9-10 hours a day. Don't let the size deceive you; it holds a midi size Sigg container, small container for fruit, small bag of chips, small yogurt cup, and a juicebox or juice pouch... all at once. I'd say it can probably even hold two of the midi Sigg boxes easily. It's extremely well insulated, my food stays cool all day. I also love that it's leakproof! The only downside is the smell, but after a wash, it's not so bad.

Comments about Product:

I love this lunch tote. I have had several different type of lunch totes in the past, but love this one because it grows as one puts items in it, then shrinks back once items are removed-- I use a variety of containers for snacks and my lunch during the day. I am pleased with the small amount of storage space it requires. I am so glad that I accidently came across it on your website! Thanks for being on the web! Barbara Kessler

Comments about Product:

What a great bag! It is really spacious and cool-looking. Makes me want to pack a lunch everyday. It also is wonderfully insulated. I use one of those ice packs and everything stays cold way past lunchtime.

Comments about Product:

This product is great! It is incredibly large. I use it mainly for flying. I can fit 2 sandwiches, fruit, a small water bottle after security and a cookie or two. Amazing! It protects things...well insulated! Love it!

Comments about Product:

I like the product, however I feel that the description is misleading. The measurements in the description state 12 inches high. To the top of the handle, is 12 inches, htere is only 8 inches of usable space. So I was dissapointed that the environmentally friendly bottles and food containers that I use will not all fit in this tote. On the plus side, my food stays cold and the bag is semi-expandable, I love the material. I hope that you design a larger bag, I will definitely by it!

Comments about Product:

Comments about Product:

Very cute bag. I love the way it expands and is cushioned. It does not insulate the way I had hoped it would. I put a grilled cheese sandwich in the bag right from the pan to was paper wrap and as an extra aluminum foil. Three hours later it was not warm but quite cool. Sam whenI put cold stuff in with a small ice pack. Next time I will use a large ice pack. Plenty of room.

Comments about Product:

Overall really like the bag. It is light weight, easy to carry and fashionable. Only downside is that it doesn't keep food cool (even with an ice pack) for a very long period of time. I don't have a fridge yet at work so hopefully when that comes keeping the stuff cold won't be an issues.

I love my new lunch container. It's roomy enough for 2 people's lunches. It's great that it folds up when empty. The smell of the material was very strong when I got it, but after washing and hanging it outside a few times everything is fine. Very happy with my purchase!

Comments about Product:

I love this lunch bag. The strechable fabric allows for all different sizes of containers and I'm able to fit my whole lunch plus a small stainless bottle of water. I spilled dressing on the tote and it came right out with a wash.

Comments about Product:

My husband and I love these bags -- they hold so much that we can easily use them for lunch and dinner on those days we are on the run for extended periods. They wash up great and once empty, they easily fold up and stash in a purse or messenger bag. (They do need freezer packs to keep things cold.)

I use this bag for the To-Go-Wear stainless steel food carrier. The bag is really user friendly. With the TGW inside, I can also fit a sandwich wrap with bread, and a napkin, and my Sigg stainless steel cutlery, with a little room to spare. Add a thermos to your overall backpack, and you could haul a lot of food. This would be a GREAT bag for kids, in my opinion, because the zipper is so nice, and the flexible bag is forgiving in terms of packing sloppily. It's also ridiculously easy to wash. The zipper is tough and glides well. It also looks sleek and cool, unlike the canvas lunch bag I had as a kid (but was still proud of). The black looks very professional for the office too. The thick fabric gives your lunch a little protection as well. The design of the bag also allows for it to stand up while loading and while on your desk- which is nice, you don't have to lay it down. It holds the TGW food carrier PERFECTLY. No complaints.

Comments about Product:

I love this bag! It's smart, classy looking and so practical. It expands to fit almost any size container and takes up no more room in the fridge at work than a regular-sized lunch bag. I have received many compliments and a lot of co-workers are buying them. A great product.

Comments about Product:

I love my BUILT NY lunch bags. One was purchased for my daughters school lunch bag and now all her friends also want a BUILT NY bag! They are easy to carry and larger enough to hold odd shaped containers. When your lunch is done the bag can be folded and carried home in a backpack of purse.

Comments about Product:

Great lunch bag. I pack a substantial lunch and this bag can hold it. Much roomier than I thought it would be. Had a salad dressing spill and it washed out very easily in the washing machine, cold water. No more smell and no need to dispose of it like the other bags I've had.

Comments about Product:

This is a great tote that fits my laptop lunch box & sigg bottle. The design makes it very easy to carry around (from school to work to home) and the fact that it is a nice sleek black disguises it's use as a lunchbag! I get tons of compliments.

Comments about Product:

I can't even begin to say how much I love this versatile, flexible, and cool looking lunch tote. It fits a large lunch in reusable bins, and can crunch down to fit into my laptop bag when done. Best of all, when i spilled my yogurt into it accidentally, I just washed and let it air dry - it looks as good as new and kept its shape. It rocks my lunch world.

Comments about Product:

This is a great lunch bag! It stretches to accommodate the tallest water bottles and unwieldy containers. It looks sharp and is washable. I'm considering getting it for my daughters - so much easier to clean-up the inevitable yogurt spills!

Comments about Product:

I love this bag! I needed a lunch bag for my daughter that I could wash. She was always getting gross stuff on her old lunch box and I would wash it but it never got clean. This bag I can throw in the wash and done! It is perfect, I even bought one for myself. Thanks

Comments about Product:

I've had my insulated lunch box for a few weeks now and absolutely love it! I take my lunch to work 95% of the time, so its something that gets a lot of use! All my items including my sigg bottle fit into it and I pack a small ice pack with it to keep things cool. I also like that I can machine wash it, which I have done once already. Great product, people at work think its my purse when they see me carrying it!

Comments about Product:

My 15 year old daughter loves her large insulated lunch bag---she loves the way the stripes look--so stylish and it holds everything she wants. It was a little "stinky" when it first arrived, so we washed it in the washer, aired it out, and it was fine after that.

Comments about Product:

I bought this for my 7 year old daughter for school and she absolutley loves it!!! Very pleased!!! I wanted the medium one but was worried my daughters water bottle wouldn't fit. Everything fits in this one 20 oz water bottle, small thermos, snack sandwich etc.

Comments about Product:

I really like this bag. It doesn't keep things as cold as I'd like for as long as I'd like, but it's very comfortable to carry and easy to clean. I also like the fact that it stretches a bit to allow you to fir odly shaped containers inside.

Comments about Product:

My kids use it for thier school lunches, they like it, its contemporary & cool, its big enuf for LOTS of goodies & just tickled with the material, it really is just like a wet suit & dries quickly, 2 thumbs up.

Comments about Product:

I bought 2 of the striped insulated lunch bags: one for my daughter, a teacher who takes lunch to school, and one for myself because it was so pretty. I used mine on a car trip and loved it. My daughter reports many compliments, and fun telling people it's wet-suit material. bravo!

Comments about Product:

The best of the best lunch bags!!! Keeps food cold for hours, lightweight considering how durable, zipper-top, and fits irregular sized containers. It has always held whatever I am bringing for lunch and the prints are oh-so-cute.

Comments about Product:

What a fantastic way to be "green" and look great doing it! With so many styles and sizes to choose from, I couldn't resist getting lunch totes for my adult daughters as well. They are roomy enough to hold a large water bottle and still have plenty of room to neatly pack salads, sandwiches, fruit or whatever. We all agree ... taking lunch to work hasn't been this fun since elementary school!

This is a great bag. We are on our third school year and it's still going strong. If your child brings his or her lunch to school each day, this is the right bag. Just don't go any smaller if you want to fit an extra snack and a water bottle. It's tough, flexible, and sustains through day after day. Love this bag.

Comments about Product:

I really love this bag. It looks fabulous, holds a ton, and is well insulated. The only thing I could possibly complain about is that heavier things like drink bottles sag down at the bottom of the bag, make me insecure about the strength of the material, but I think that that is just me being paranoid.

Comments about Product:

I really like this bag. I bring my lunch to work every day, together with a morning snack and sometimes my husbands lunch too. I can make it all fit. The bag is comfortable to hold and carry and shapes itself to the content.

Comments about Product:

I love love love loved this bag. It fits a reasonable sized healthy lunch (3 containers, apple, some rice cakes) without a problem. It keeps food at a good temperature in transit. It stretches! And it looks rather more like a handbag than a lunch tote. Mine was taken from my desk, it was that attractive. Be careful with yours or you'll be here like me, buying a replacement!

Comments about Product:

The bag is great! It holds much more than it looks and then stretches some. The softness of the neoprene is great also because I tend to carry my toddler's lunch in glass jars, so the bumps are less likely to break things. Although I haven't really tested it yet, the cold food appears to be fairly cold when I open it a few hours later. The only down side is that when first used, the neoprene had a nasty chemical smell. Still does a little bit after several uses.

Comments about Product:

Overall, I really like this product. It's very roomy and I love the fact that it collapses for easy storage. The only off-putting thing is the smell of the neoprene, which is probably a personal thing. :-)

Comments about Product:

This is my second lunch tote. I purchased one for my lunch but my daughter claimed it as hers so I've purchased a second tote. It holds large containers as well as several containers at once. The tote is very flexible and conforms to all shapes. It also does a fairly good job at keeping things cold. The colors and patterns make it fun to use. This product also holds up well with repeated washings and use.

Comments about Product:

Due to multiple food intolerances, my two boys (aged 4 and 22 months) have to bring their own food to daycare. I bought them each their own lunchbox, and they LOVE them! Even my 22 month old proudly carries in his reusable bag like a "big boy." I bought myself one as well and really like it a lot so far.

Comments about Product:

The utensil set is a wonderful gift. We love them. We even take them to asian restaurants so we don't have to throw away their chopsticks after we use them. We just take ours home and wash them. They're beautiful, very sturdy, and fit comfortably in your hand. They go wonderfully with the Stainless Steel Carrier , which fits perfectly in a Built NY® Gourmet Getaway - Large Insulated Lunch / Tote Bag to keep your food hot or cold when going back home, etc. Our Stainless Steel Carrier seems to be perfect for leftovers for two, supply each person with a separate compartment.

Comments about Product:

Love this bag for lunch and car trips. We have several. keeps things cool, stretches to accomodate odd shaped containters, machine washable, folds down in a kitchen drawer and looks a fashionable bag instead of a lunchbag. people comment on what a cool purse I have (esp the green one during springtime)

Comments about Product:

My daughters, who are both advocates of recycling, love their lunch bags. They are very easy to keep clean and to use. We were very impressed with the customer service of both buying the product and exchanging one.

Comments about Product:

I LOVE this bag! I originally bought the bag because my old lunch bag would not hold larger containers of food. I wanted a bag with sides that would stretch to fit whatever container I had. This bag does the trick!! It's even washable! The only turn off would be the smell when you first take it out of the box. It smells like a new SCUBA suit. The smell eventually fades - don't let this turn you off. It's a GREAT product!

Comments about Product:

I just love this lunch bag. I use it every work day. I like the way it stretches to hold lots of items. People who have seen me carrying it just love it. I also love the way it folds down for easy storage. I can place it in my pantry and not have to worry about it taking up lots of room. I would recommend this lunch bag to anyone. Great deal you should get one too.

I love this lunch bag. I bought it to take to Disney World and it kept frozen water bottles almost completely frozen ALL day in 90+ degree weather. It's a great size and stretches just enough to fit larger containers. It also seems very durable

Comments about Product:

This is the best lunch bag I've used--for looks, ease of cleaning, durability and volume. I can get a couple tupperware type containers and a little more in it. It's great to take to the pottery studio where I know it will get dirty, but will easily clean up, inside and out.

I purchased the NY Built Large insulated lunch bag and I LOVE it. It fits any and everything no matter the shape and it looks chic. I thought I originally order it in black but was shipped a lime green bag so I re-ordered a black and gave the green bag to a friend. My friend is also very pleased with product and uses it daily..and green is her favorite color. Ordering was quick and easy and shipping was prompt. I will definately use the site again. Lena W.

I love this bag. I got for my daughter and she uses it to carry her luch for school also to carrying things around. It looks a little weird when you take it out of the package but when you open it it looks great. I loe it my daughter always says. Great Product!!!!

I really like this bag. It holds a lot of stuff and it also folds flat for storage. I got the striped one and I am thinking about ordering the other one too. I love this site, too. They shipped really fast and the prices are really good too.

Comments about Product:

I really like my Built NY bag. The striped print is very stylish, and roomy enough for lunch and snacks. One downside is that it actually smells sort or rubbery like the wet suit material it's made from. I like that I could wash it in the washing machine (it dried very fast) to remove the smell. It helped some, but I think it will take another washing or two.

I am really enjoying my new lunch bags. It is soft, insulated by the Neoprene and holds my large salad bowl and many other containers. I like the zippered closing. The fact that it is soft and stretchy means that it allows for alot of stuff and it stretches to fit what's in it. I teach RN students and one of them saw it and went to the computer and ordered her own.

Comments about Product:

I like the idea of this product. Easy to carry, use, clean, it stretches for more room that may be needed. I love the color and pattern. Many people stop to look at my bag. Just wish it had make a compartment on the bottom for a square container.

Comments about Product:

Cutest, sofetest, redest lunch bag I've ever-owned! I love this thing-soft, flexible, large when you need it to be, small when you don't need it to be, it is amazing!! This makes bringing my lunch everyday to work loads of fun!!

Comments about Product:

I read the lunch bag reviews in the Wall Street Journal, and this one was top-rated. I love it. It actually works, and replaces a large, clunky, "insulated" lunch bag that did nothing for my overall so very chic appearance.

Comments about Product:

This is an easy bag to take snacks or a meal "on the go." The fabric is stretchy and padded--perfect for ease of packing and protection of contents. We selected the black color so that it's appearance was less purse-like.

Comments about Product:

I love the Gourmet Tote Bag that I ordered...The Cranberry red is a lovely color and the quality of the bag is wonderful.. I got it to keep my baby's food hot when on the go, and it works perfectly well for us.. does not use any space for storage, unlike a bulky cooler or lunch box. washes well too. I would absolutely recommend it to a friend..

Comments about Product:

This by far the best lunch bag I have ever used. It's handle makes for easy carrying (I also snap my NY Built bottle tote onto it). It holds all the food I need for the day which is great since refrigerator space is hard to come by at work. With an ice pack put right in the top everything stays nice and cold. It's flexibility allows for easy packing of awkward shaped foods or containers too. My only suggestion would be more colors.

Comments about Product:

I LOVE my lunch bag. It is large enough to hold pretty much anything I want to take for lunch! And plus it has a stretchy property that allows it to stretch for anything that might be a tight fit. Everyone in my office loves my lunch bag as well. Some even thought it was a purse! It is stylish and a nice lunch bag for a grown up!

Comments about Product:

Received Built NY Gourmet Getaway lunch tote in bright stripes. I pack my lunch daily and just got tired of the same old lunch tote. Love the fact that this one is stretchy & can accommodate my lunch as well as my electronic book. It's great!!!

Comments about Product:

I bought a red one for my husband and a green one for me. Both of us received comments from work colleagues asking where we got them. Contents stay cool and bags easily wipe clean and lay flat. We bought matching wrap-n-mats - it's great to save all that plastic bag waste!

Comments about Product:

LOVE IT! Everyone comments on how cute it is and my main concern when I ordered was keeping stuff cool. I keep 2 "blue ice" packs in it and my frozen meals (which the bag stretches to fit in a laying down position very nicely) stay FROZEN until lunch time! Perfect!

Comments about Product:

Thanks to Kim P above, I received the tote as a gift... I am able to fit salads in tupperware, a sandwich, and two drink bottles, as well as an ice pack! The bag stretches to fit what I shove in it, as well as the construction of the tote is good enough that I'm not worried about stretching and tearing. The only thing I dislike about it... Is the original "new car" smell that comes with it. It quickly dissipates, as well as it does not seep into the food. It's washable... it stretches... it's build very well... it holds a ton o' stuff, what else is needed?

Comments about Product:

I recently purchased the Built NY insulated lunch bag and am very happy with it. Since I prefer not to use plastic bags to pack my lunch but glass containers, I needed something that would carry larger, heavier items - this bags carries them all. Clean up is easy too. I've had a few spills inside the bag and it cleans up very quickly with just a damp cloth. Also, it looks good. I've had several compliments about the bag and have actually given out your address to several people - so I hope they order.

Comments about Product:

Used my bag for the first first time today - Great! It stretches so accomodates more than the usual square, nylon bags. Love that it folds up flat to pack away at end of day especially if one rides public transportation.

Comments about Product:

I love this bag. We use it as a small cooler on family car trips, etc and my 2nd grader uses it for her lunch box daily. She loves that it looks like a purse! The ability to machine wash is a great feature. It expands some to hold alot when needed, yet squishes down when not full to fit into her backpack easily. I wish I had bought two!

Comments about Product:

I purchased this bag for my boyfriend after I had owned one myself for a couple of weeks. I love the bag, and he wanted one as well. It is durable, pretty stain resistant, and it keeps things cold with the help of an ice pack. It has been great for campus and traveling since it stretches to hold everything and compacts nicely when empty. I would recommend it for all ages.

Comments about Product:

This product does what it says. It keeps your food cold for hours, and holds lots of food and beverages. It has great durability however as much as I love the quality of the bag and stylish features, I feel it's alittle pricey.

Comments about Product:

I have been using the Built NY Lunch Bag for almost nine months. This is the most versatile lunch bag I have used. It packs plenty of food and is squishable enough that I can stuff it in my briefcase or backpack. I have also used it during long car trips. I cannot imagine returning to any of my previous lunch boxes.

Comments about Product:

This lunch bag worked great...until I decided to wash it. Although I followed the manufacturer's instructions for laundering, the bag came unstitched in the washing machine. When I contacted the manufacturer regarding this issue, I was told that it was a "design malfunction" that should be addressed through reusablebags.com. I think that it is very poor customer service to expect retailers to be responsible for product defects and will not be purchasing Build NY products in the future. Too bad too because I really liked this lunch bag: it’s lightweight, cute, and the perfect size.

Comments about Product:

I really like this bag. It reminds me of a small bowling ball bag. It carries a good amount of food without smashing it. Also it doesn't seem to take up a lot of space in the refrigerator like the old, boxy, insulated lunch containers do. After buying this Built NY product, I have since purchased three other Built NY items. I would recommend.

Comments about Product:

I decided to buy this bag after 10+ years of using my old lunch bag, which was tattered and worn. I was looking for something that looked nice as well as something large enough to carry my many (small) tupperware containers. This bag fit the bill! It is large enough for the containers and looks great. My co-worker commented that she would not have guessed it was a lunch bag. Besides the look, the thing I like most about this bag is it's flexibility. My old bag was rectangular shaped, so if you couldn't fit your containers in it, too bad; they didn't fit. This one stretches a bit so that you can fit several odd-shaped containers into it without any problem. The zipper is sturdy and keeps everything inside. I'm very happy with this lunch bag!

Comments about Product:

I LOVE my new lunch bag! I don't feel embarrassed to be carrying it with my to work and school because it is attractive (unlike other options). The handle makes the bag easy to carry. It is large enough to hold a large tupperware container, beverage bottle, etc. My new bag is definately worth the $20 (approx). Thanks!

Comments about Product:

I love this bag! I use it as my lunch bag for work and for some reason, having such a good-looking bag motivates me to bring my lunch more often. I feel like the money I have saved by bringing vs. buying lunch has paid for the bag many times over. It fits my breakfast, lunch, and snacks. It's easy to fill because the bottom flattens out when you open it and you can roll it up or smoosh it when empty. I have always admired Built NY's quality and this bag is no exception. The zipper sticks every once in a while, but it's usually because I am being lazy when I open it. My bag is "Cranberry" color and gets a lot of compliments. Highly recommended!

Comments about Product:

I have used the bag once since recieving it. I love the colors, it kept my yogout, thermos and bottle of water organized and had lots more room available. I love that it is washable. I plan to put on some ribbons on the handles just for the fun of it. The opening is wide - with easy access. I look forward to using this in the hot Virginia summers and seeing how the insulation works then.

Comments about Product:

So far, it's withstanding being packed to the gills very well, because it stretches and the zipper is sturdy. The little plastic zipper handle did break from pulling on it too hard, but i blame myself rather than the bag - i pulled on it pretty hard. It's a good size for cramming lots of tupper ware and there, and yet it's small enough that it's manageable as a carrying bag. I look forward to using it for a very long time.

Comments about Product:

I love this bag! I bought it to tote my Laptop Lunch and a couple of drinks- which all fit nicely (without zipping it up). It is easily smooshed into any remaining space in the refrigerator at work, washes up like a dream in the washing machine, and it's cute to boot!

Comments about Product:

I love the color (the dots) and the style. The functionality is great with how stretchy it is. It can accommodate any shape of lunch or container. The only thing that i dislike about it is the smell of the material. The neoprene is definitely off-gassing and can sometimes impart a strange flavor to the food. I have washed it twice per the manufacturer's instructions and that has not really helped. I haven't researched how to get rid or reduce the smell, but something needs to be done for me to continue to use the bag.

Comments about Product:

What a wonderful bag (large Gourmet Getaway Tote Bag)! It's versatile, easy to clean, and cool looking. It carries everything I want to carry with ease. Ordering was the easiest and delivery was very fast. Thank you for the great product!

Comments about Product:

I love this bag. It has an incredible amount of room. i have had many lunch bags and totes but never one as satisfying as this one. I use glass containers vs plastic and baggies of course. Everything I need fits inside and amazingly it seems to stay cool without an ice pack, but of course one would fit too. I get many complements and again I will be ordering them as Holiday gifts along with the Wrap-n-mat. I am truly pleased and recommend this lunch tote bag. Thank you for a great product!

Comments about Product:

The lunch bag was a gift for my daughter. We both loved it! Makes taking your lunch to work in the cute bag more fun compared to using the "brown bag"!! The reusable bag also keeps things cold- environmently friendly too!! Joan S.

Comments about Product:

FINALLY! A bag that's as functional as it is cute! I love the polka-dot design. You can really stuff a lot of odd shaped things in this bag at once because it stretches. I put all different shapes & sizes of tupperware, fruit, cottage cheese & yogurt containers. Even if you don't need a lunch sack, it's great for transporting cold beverages or hot items. I think I can stop refrigerating my lunch because it keeps my food so cold for hours!

Comments about Product:

"Good" doesn't even come close to the review of this bag!! I love it! It's roomy interior allows me to fit my lunch, two snacks, and my drink inside! The fact that it is collapsable makes it easy to take home, too! This site is fantastic and I've given it out to everyone I know! Keep up your green work!

Comments about Product:

"Good" doesn't even come close to the review of this bag!! I purchased several of these bags as gifts and I actually had one left over from Christmas. I started using it when I started on the South Beach Diet. I love it! It's roomy interior allows me to fit my lunch, two snacks, and my V8 inside! The fact that it is collapsable makes it easy to take home, too! I haven't washed it yet, but everything has wiped off easily. It is much better than a grocery bag!!

Comments about Product:

I gave the lunch bags as gifts for the holidays both have had rave reviews! I also gave your website address out because of all of the other things you carry. Thanks for your efficient and courteous service.

Comments about Product:

I gave the lunchbags to my daughter & her partner. They had been using any bag that was handy for their lunches. Jodi, my daughter, told me they are using the bags, love them,they look good & hold everything they need. Now I'm going to suggest to my grandaughters school to contact you for their "snack bags". Gave the small folderable carryall to a friend who volunteers in Guatemala. She brings back information & local productss. This bag, packs small, will be used for several stages of her trip. The colors & concept are great. She is thrilled. Very pleased with the swift response, products & what you are accomplishing in the world, sherry Price.

Comments about Product:

I absolutely LOVE these lunch bags. It was one of my favorite new things that I discovered this past year and I gave them as gifts for birthdays and holidays. Everyone who received one loved them too! I love that they are so easy to carry and when empty they fold flat and are not bulky like most lunch totes. I will continue to buy them for gifts and intend to purchase a few more for myself.

Comments about Product:

Oh my goodness, I just adore the lunch/tote bag. It's great for bringing lunch to work, no more brown bagging it. It adjusts to the shape of what I bring and it's big enough to store everything. The only problem now, everyone at work has seen it and they want it and now we need to have tags on the bags because several people have the same tote.

Comments about Product:

My teen daughter requested a more sophisticated lunch bag, so I bought the Built NY Gourmet Getaway bag. She is happy because it is "cooler", and I like the fact that I can wash it thoroughly (I hate how "yucky" insulated lunch boxes get). The neoprene smell is still strong after three washings, but I pack her lunch in a re-useable plastic bag that goes inside the Getaway bag.

Comments about Product:

I ordered the dot insulated lunch bag. I love it! I get many compliments on it everyday. It is large enough to keep frozen meals in. I usually eat Smart Ones or Lean Cuisine for lunch and I wanted a lunch bag that they would fit in. This works! I had no problem ordering and I received informative emails. I got the first one after I ordered to confirm what was purchased. I received another one when my item was shipped. I was able to track my item and it was delivered promptly. I would order from here again!

Comments about Product:

This is a great lunch bag! It holds a lot of stuff, including a frozen meal. Make sure you wash it before using it, because there was a chemical smell that transfered to my food. Otherwise, a great product!

Comments about Product:

I love my lunch tote bag. I normally have leftover from dinner the night before and would put in a plastic container and then in a regular paper bag, most times I would get to work and the bag would be wet. Now my bag is dry and holds much more. Great product

Comments about Product:

I'm very pleased with my Built NY® Gourmet Getaway - Large Insulated Lunch / Tote Bag. The footprint is large enough to accommodate my storage containers and keep them in an upright position. However, the bag isn't too large. It's just perfect for my lunch and a Nalgene bottle. My coworkers are envious.

Comments about Product:

These lunch bags are great for my kids' Montessori school! They are large enough yet folding ability is great and they aren't noisy in the classroom like the metal one we had before. I wish this one had a pocket inside though.

Comments about Product:

My daughter LOVES her new lunch box. It is so stylish and pretty. It keeps her food and drink cold and stretches to fit when I pack larger or bulky lunches. Everything was just like the company said it would be. It looks great even after washed in the washing machine. We couldn't be more pleased with our purchase and I'm sure this won't be our last.

Comments about Product:

I love this bag. I bought it for my husband for his lunch. Unfortunately, it didn't hold his large SIGG Water Bottle when filled with food. So I took the bag to use when out with the kids. It holds all our drinks and snacks and keeps things well chilled. The feel of the fabric is unique.

Comments about Product:

I love my lunch sack, but since it's made of neoprene my lunch smells like rubber- not so great for fruit! Didn't even think of that when I bought it. Still love it and hoping the rubber smell will fade...

Comments about Product:

I love how spacious the bag is--I can keep a full lunch and a few snacks in it at the same time. The one downside is that I expected it to keep things cooler than it does. I should probably invest in a little ice pack to help this.

Comments about Product:

I love the material, spongy and flexible. The bag expands to fit various shapes and sizes of containers. The handle is easy to grasp, even for little hands. Absorbs water like a sponge, which can then be wiped dry. The perfect solution for odd-shaped or large lunch containers, such as the Bento Box.

Comments about Product:

My daughter chose the dotted Gourmet Getaway bag for school lunches. She is 9 and wanted something without characters but with a trendy look. She really likes her new bag and gets compliments on it. When she comes home, I remove the contents and turn the bag inside-out to let the lining dry, which it does very quickly.

Comments about Product:

The insulated tote bags were a big hit with my kids and their teachers. Our school is launching a huge recycling project. It would be great if there were more design choices because my boys would prefer a whole color as opposed to the cute patterns. They clean up like new and can hold a big lunch AND water bottle.

Comments about Product:

I bought this bag for my son's school lunch. We are very happy with it. It has plenty of room. He is able to open it independently. It is easy to clean, I toss it in the washer and let it air dry or spot clean it.

Comments about Product:

This lunch bag is delightful. The stitching on the handle is nice and firmly reinforced.No matter how much weight I put in it (two bottles of water plus food) the bag holds well. The color shape and material are all lovley and I am proud to have it sit on the counter in the staff lunch room. Sincerly, Sheryl Cannon-White

Comments about Product:

Wonderful bag. We got the polka-dot one for our daugters Avent bottles and 6 fit in perfectly with a bit of room to spare. We got this one for my husband in black so that he could have it for lunch. It really is just great!

Comments about Product:

This bag is wonderful!!! We can fit 6 of our daugters Avent bottels in it and they are extra wide size. It is a wonderful baby bottle holder better then anything else we have found! The polka-dot design is very neat and stylish as well!

Comments about Product:

I bought two of the BuiltNY lunch bags, one for each of my daughters. One is a school teacher and the other a junior in college. They both love their new "stylish" yet "green" lunch bags. They use them every day and love having something so durable but "cool" and earth friendly to take their lunch in. I will definately buy more. Thank you Lori

Comments about Product:

This is the lunch box my daughter chose for school this year. I love the zipper so things stay inside, and she loves the style. We both like how tidy it is when it's folded up at the end of the day for storage, or to put in her backpack to bring home. I am trying to think of other uses for this, since it's just so nice!

Comments about Product:

I purchased the large insulated gourmet getaway lunch/tote bag for my oldest teenage daughter. She loves it because it not only is "cute" and "purse-like" but it holds her favorite salad, apple and bottled water. A BIG plus: it is washable!

Comments about Product:

Love this bag. I never had a lunch bag that hugged all of my containers so well, and kept everything upright like this does. I use it with the stacking stainless containers sold on this site as well as all sorts of sizes of food storage containers, and it stretches to fit them all. Great looks and quality.

Comments about Product:

I love my Built NY lunchbag. It's tough, washable, insulating, stretches to accomodate my largest lunch, and extremely portable and easy to carry. I had a different reusable bag before this that I used for a year and a half, and the differences are enormous. Highly recommended.

Comments about Product:

I love this lunch bag. As others noted, it's big enough to fit my tupperware containers, and still have plenty of room for other things. AND it's so cute! Definitely the best option I've seen for carrying my lunch.

Comments about Product:

I like this bag, but was hoping it would be a little bit taller. Some say the smell is bad, but I didn't notice it. Of course, that could be because I have already washed it once. I was very pleased with how it washed, how it folds flat, is flexible and very tough.

Comments about Product:

My daughters love this lunch bag--its soft pliability make it easy to carry and store, it holds several reusable containers, and the fun designs have led to several compliments about their fun new "purse".

Comments about Product:

NY Built insulated lunch totes are great! I have two children in elementary school and I struggle to keep their lunch boxes clean. But this tote is machine washable and very durable. It expands to fit whatever size containers you have including the large pre-made lunches you can buy in the deli. I highly recommend this product!

Comments about Product:

The tote is attractive and fun. However, the wet suit smell is too overpowering to use it for a lunch tote. I have washed it and aired it outdoors, but the smell is not diminishing. Since I needed a lunch tote and because I can't use it that way because of the smell, then I am not satisfied with this item.

Comments about Product:

This is a great lunch bag. It keeps food cold without needing to refrigerate. Washable if you have a spill and sassy to carry. Not a dumpy old lunch bag!! Little costly with shipping, but worth the price.

Comments about Product:

This tote is a perfect and stylish *reusable* solution for carting your lunch to work/school/the park everyday. While it does not retain cold as well as a hard-insulated cooler, such as an Igloo, it keeps food chilled and contained - and stores MUCH easier than a bulky plastic lunchbox!

Comments about Product:

Love this lunch bag. When you first get it, it looks small...until you start putting things in it! I can easily put in a glass pyrex container, another plastic one plus some additional snacks or even a drink bottle. Folds flat for storage but opens up well and has a great flat bottom.

Comments about Product:

I like the Gourmet Getaway, but I bought it as a birthday gift for my husband. Unfortunately, he says it looks like a purse and won't use it so I've ended up with it. He's right - it does look just like a purse, but it's a nice lunch bag for me. It keeps my drinks nice and cool and is very light weight.

Comments about Product:

I love this bag. It is so flexible - you can fit in so much more than it looks like you can. Spills are soaked up by the material, but don't leak through. It's machine washable, so it's very easy to maintain. It's also cute too - that never hurts. Would definitely buy it again!

Comments about Product:

Excellent value. I pack two meals per day plus snacks with a cold pack in the bag. I have plenty of room as it stretches. It washes up great and looks great, also. Would purchase again and again. Have a feeling I won't have to as it is so resilient.

Comments about Product:

I'm happy with the bag. It seems to insulate well (I've only had it a week) and it's very cute and roomy. My one concern is the handle - it seems like it could develop wear & tear because it's a bit on the flimsy side for a bag of this size. So far, so good though. The bag is very chic and functional.

Comments about Product:

I was already familiar with the Built NY products (own also a smaller lunch bag with water bottle slot and a wine bag), and when I saw this larger tote I knew I had to get it. I love that it folds flat, which makes it perfect for carrying snacks while traveling. Thank you for this quality product at a great price.

Comments about Product:

This large lunch tote was an excellent purchase. It is well made and attractive (I've had several people comment on the "cool" material). It holds much more than the medium lunch tote, which I purchased previously. I had a difficult time fitting multiple reusable containers in the medium size bag, however I can fit everything I need (salad container, fruit container, yogurt, and more) for the day's lunch and some snacks in this large bag. I use this bag every day and would definitely recommend it. I now use the medium bag if I'm just carrying a drink (since the medium bag has an actual drink compartment) and some snacks that do not need bulky containers.

Comments about Product:

The only problem I have with this product is that the chemical smell is quite strong for the first month or so. It seems to be better now but it definitely is still there. Perhaps I will try washing it a few times.

Comments about Product:

There are not enough stars are on there to do this bag justice! Finally, I have a bag that will hold my meal size salad and a drink without walking around with a half empty cooler. It was the first item I opened in my order and the kids quickly went and got my salad bowl. When my husband came home the first thing they said was "mom's new lunch box holds her Tupperware!" The washabitlity of this bag is another huge perk! They need to make them in kid sizes and patterns!

Comments about Product:

It was a beautiful lunch bag, but I had thought it was black with dots instead of brown. And I had envisioned it being larger or at least taller, since I had ordered the large. But its still a good lunch bag. Sharon S.

Comments about Product:

I'm very happy with this lunch bag. I got the striped bag and the colors are lovely. In addition the bag stretches to fit all my snacks, keeps them colder than plastic bags and has a zipper on top for security. Definitely a good investment for a healthy lifestyle.

Comments about Product:

This is the best lunch bag ever! First of all, I get tons of compliments on the design of the bag. The stripes and bright colors are very stylish. I also love carrying the bag because the handle feels very soft in your hand. The bag itself is the perfect size since the bottom expands. It doesn't look big, but it's actually quite roomy. I have no trouble fitting in medium sized tupperware containers on the bottom. I also find that the bag holds the temperature of the contents very well. The bag itself can be washed in the machine. I could not have designed a better lunch bag!

Comments about Product:

I bought this lunch bag for my 3 year old daughter, and she absolutely adores it! Not only does she think it's fashionably cool, it falls within the "no characters" lunchbox rule at her Montessori school and provides a great safe alternative to vinyl/leaded lunchboxes. We've been through many lunch boxes between my 2 kids, including the Fleurville packs (which didn't pack as much and split seams), and this BUILT NY bag is by far the best I've tried. It's stretchy enough to accomodate a thermal food jar, a Sigg bottle, a reusable sandwich box and several snack conatiners without splitting seams. And best of all it's washable!

Comments about Product:

I love the insulated large tote lunch bags. My goal was roomy but not too big for a school age kid, insulated, and WASHABLE! We threw so many lunch boxes out because they smelled sooo badly after milk and yogurt spills. This satisfies all those criterion AND it's so nice that it's so compact when empty - something I hadn't thought of before! My only criticism is the lack of color choice and the difficulty in finding a good place to clearly write one's name (particularly on the black). Thank you!!!

Comments about Product:

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this lunchbag! My son (5 years old) loves it so much (the striped one), that for the first few days he held onto it the whole day at school, even at rest time. I love that it's washable.

Comments about Product:

I love my lunch bag, eventhough it is lunch bag it is fashionable, light, compact and holds large container with sald and some other items. It is colourfull so it is fun to carry. everone that sees it gives compliment. It is high price for a lunch bag but considering what I save in lunch money, I like it. I washed it once and came out very clean only washing with water. dried up overnight on the counter.

Comments about Product:

Wow!! I have been looking for a lunch bag for a few years, and just never found one that suited my needs, until now! I almost didn't get this bag because of the price, but I decided to take a chance. The top zips closed (which I don't recall being mentioned in the product description) and inside there is a small pocket suitable for packets of seasoning & silverware. There is also a gusset that runs along the bottom, so when the bag is full it sits upright with a flat bottom. This bag met my needs as being large enough to hold anything I would want to take with me for the day for food. It can hold 3 bottles of water and still have room for a snack, or it can hold a full lunch (including drink) & snack with all items in tupperware-style containers. Another great thing about the bag is that you can slip your arm thru the handle to carry and it is incredibly soft & stretchy (i.e. easy to carry if you have an armload of other stuff). I only wish it had come in a wider variety of colors. So, if you are hesitating, get the bag, you won't be disappointed!

Comments about Product:

I have not been very impressed with this lunchbox. I work 12 hour shifts, so I wanted something larger that your average brown bag, but with this one I still find myself throwing food into my purse or bringing a plastic bag b/c I just can't fit enough food for 2 meals. Also I found that it doesn't insulate very well. I put a large ice pack in (further diminishing it's storage capacity) and it melts and still doesn't keep my food cold. My jello was completely liquid by the time I got to it. It's very cute and I like the inside pocket but it's doesn't insulate at all and I personally needed something bigger. Oh well...

Comments about Product:

I bought two lunch bags. They were noted to be shipped but then they didn't arrive after 1 week when I supposidly had "upgraded shipping". I emailed before I called, then I got an email that said they were shipped again ( it was automated) but it was a different account number. I then had to call. My bags finally arrived 14 days after I ordered them. I love the built NY lunch bags but the shipping was kind of annoying. MBR

The lunch bag is great. Absolutely no complaints. The website is great. Just, one suggestion though. The lining for the purple bags can be a more complimentary color to the outer fiber. Just my suggestion, I am designer so I notice these little things. Christine

I honestly wasn't really convinced about this type of bag or the size of it until I saw it. Actually, I am (still) amazed that it fits all the meals I take to work; which is about three sandwiches and grapes or two sandwiches and a small tupperware container. I eat every three to four hours and this is the only thing that carries it well. Even if you don't take that many meals with you, the material is perfect enough to fold as it bends quite easily. Ok, did I say perfect? Yes, that's it.

I **love** this lunch bag!! I was skeptical on how much it could really hold, but somehow it amazingly fits (like another reader said) my breakfast, lunch and snacks--plus a few ice packs. Even though it holds a lot, the bag itself is not so big that it's cumbersome to carry. The handles are extremely comfortable and it's very comfy to carry even when stuffed. I absolutely love it and wouldn't change a thing.

I intended to use this bag for trips to the park for snacks and sippy cups but when, after a few days, I hadn't needed an insulated bag I ended up putting my keys, wallet and cell phone in it and it has now served as my purse since! Now when I've needed an insulated bag I jut shove the snacks in too since the bag expands like crazy. The zipper is awesome and I love that I feel my things inside are secure. It is so comfortable to hold and I can't tell you how many people have acutally STOPPED me on the street or in the mall to find out where I got my great "purse". I may have to buy a second for a cooler!!

Such a stylish lunch bag! Very chic. It's insulated to help keep my food safe. And best yet, it holds a ton of food so my breakfast, lunch, and snacks (for those really hungry days) have a happy place to rest.
